Resumen del Editor

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion, read by Dan O'Grady.

The Rosie Result is the triumphant final instalment of the internationally best-selling series that began with The Rosie Project.

Until 12 years ago, geneticist Don Tillman had never had a second date. Then he developed The Wife Project and met Rosie, 'the world's most incompatible woman'. Now, having survived 4,380 days of marriage, Don's life-contentment graph, recently at its highest point, is curving downwards.

Rosie has just returned to work and is struggling with an obnoxious co-worker. Don, meanwhile, is in hot water after his latest lecture goes viral. But their real worry is their son, Hudson, who is having trouble at school: his teachers say he isn't fitting in with the other kids.

For Don, learning to be a good parent as well as a good partner will require the help of friends old and new. It will mean letting Hudson make his way in the world, and grappling with difficult truths about his own identity.

It will also mean opening a cocktail bar.

Hilarious and thought-provoking, with a brilliant cast of characters, The Rosie Result will have readers cheering for joy.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Compulsively readable. A poignant, universal story about how best to reconcile head and heart." (Observer)

"Sublime, pitch-perfect, extremely funny." (Independent)

"Brilliant, important, good-hearted." (Guardian)

Brilliant

Fantastically moving and funny.
The listen had felt like an empathy exercise. The characters created by the brilliant Grame Simson are lovely and unique. They solve loads of problems (technical and interpersonal) and take care of one another in the quirkiest and most lovable ways.

A look into the journey of autism for parents and tweens like none other

Whilst this is a work of fiction, it has inspired conversation with my autistic tween and his navigation through the difficult patch for all 12 year olds/ 6th graders and moving into a new phase of life, making friends, maintaining friendships and understanding the labels. It has helped me to look at him through the autism lens and then through the lenses that are not autism like a normal tween, also to see that he does not have to fit all the stereo types.
Being new to the autism diagnosis, there is still so much to learn and take in for all of us.
This final book certainly helped with that while being entertaining at the same time.
The themes of inclusion and diversity are great throughout and how we look at them.
Definitely worth a great rating.

The most phenomenal series, I loved it

This series was amazing and I could not stop listening. Must read, must listen!
